Tuesday and Wednesday

Everything going well here. Tuesday we started Holiday Bible Club at Ballinderry. We saw several returning faces from last year's club. The teaching and the skits were good. For sight seeing they took us out to Hillsborough Castle, the place where the queen stays when she visits Northern Ireland. Chad arived safely and joined us in Maze. Speaking of Maze, the HBC went much better than Monday night.
Wednesday I gave my talk at both Ballinderry and Maze and everyone says that it went well, so thank you for your prayers on that. For sight seeing we went out to Downpatrick Cathedral, the supposed burial place of St. Patrick. We also walked around the town.
As far as prayer requests go, continued prayer for the HBC and for strength and good health. I personally am worn out right now so pray that God will give me not just strength to get through the day, but strength and energy so that when we have our HBC it is not evident that I am weary. Also, pray for relationships that are being established, that we would make the effort to build relationships with the children here.
Thank you again for all the prayer so far. I definitely desire your continuing prayer. Oh, and I did upload four pictures to Facebook, so please have a look (because of child protection laws I cannot put up pictures of any of the children we are working with, but I can put up pictures of the scenery so that's what I've given y'all).
In Christ,
Elise Marie
